The Tamiya 23690 RTR 1/10 Toyota Bruiser RN36 recreates the appeal of the 1980s Toyota Hilux in a scale RC truck. It targets hobbyists who want a nostalgic body shell paired with practical, serviceable RC components.
Although the body recalls the original Hilux, the Bruiser uses modern RC engineering, including a sturdy ladder frame and a Type 540 brushed motor. Its 3-speed transmission lets you select the right gearing for crawly technical sections or faster runs.
The live axle layout with metal housings, leaf springs and oil dampers delivers predictable behaviour on rough ground. A metal front under guard offers extra protection, while the injection-moulded shell and big 123mm tyres add clearance and scale presence.
Factory finished and equipped with an FM radio and ESC, the model needs just a 7.2V battery and a charger to be operational, making it easy to get on the track or trail.
For scale enthusiasts who enjoy field runs and trail work, the Tamiya 23690 RTR 1/10 Toyota Bruiser RN36 balances period-correct looks with chassis features that handle real off-road conditions.
